Wang Guodong，born in Liaoning province in 1942. He Graduated from NEU in
1966, and received the master's degree in 1981. Then he became a teacher of NEU
after his graduation. In 1989, he became a full professor. He was elected
Academician of China Academy of Engineering in 2005.

He has been the director of the State Key Laboratory of Rolling and
Automation (1996-2004). Now he is associate chairman of the Steel Rolling
Institute of the Chinese Society for Metal, member of the Liaoning Society for
Metal and Chinese materials Research Society. He was voted of the associate
chairman of academy committee of the State Key Laboratory of Rolling and
Automation in 2004.

Professor Wang Guodong has pursued his studies on the theory, technic and
automation of advanced metal steels. He has undertaken and finished many
research projects of National 973 Basal Basic Research, National 863 High-tech
Plan, National Natural Science Key Foundation， National Key Technology Plan.

In the study of super steels, he presented the idea of grain refinement
appropriately and complex strengthening, with which prototype steels have been
developed and 400 MPa class super steels have been successfully produced on the
existing rolling mill and have been widely used in automobile and building
industry, making great contributions to the development, production and
application of new generation steels. With the guide of Professor Wang, the
technologies of TMCP, microstructures and performances forecast and the
auto-control during rolling have been integrated and developed at the State Key
Lab of Rolling and Automation (RAL), enabling advanced plate rolling mill to be
made in china. These technologies have been applied in many steel companies and
evident economy benefit has been achieved. In addition, Professor Wang has
contributed a lot in the intelligence optimizing during rolling.

His research achievements were awarded two National Science and Technology
Progress one-class Prizes, two National Science and Technology Progress
second-class Prizes, thirteen top or second Science and Technology Progress
Prizes of Ministry or Province. He has declared or authorized invented 14
patents, including 5 items of authorized utility new pattern. He has published 6
monographs and translated 4 books; 80 of his papers were embodied by SCI and 150
were included by EI. He has supervised 86 doctors and 69 for master who have
graduated already.

With his decent style of study, courage to exploit and religious attitude,
Professor Wang has made great contributions to the development of iron and steel
industry and the progress in technologies of china.
